Vampire Dragons are members of the undead. They sustain themselves by drinking the blood of others. It is said that they are only “alive” at night, and seem dead or asleep during the day, as they cannot endure sunlight for long periods of time. Vampire Dragons can only reproduce by changing the eggs of other dragons, puncturing the shell with their fangs and injecting venom that kills the baby inside.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

With the rapid population-growth of the island "Clementine", it wasn't long before rumours and ghost stories began to spread. A trait in Clementine folk-lore is to refer to the two other planes; one of light, connected to the Earth during day, and one of darkness, connected only at night. It is told that on the plane of Dark there is no day, and the only "life" that exists is the Army of Darkness.

Lord Wampyr is said to be of high rank within the army, and comes to our plane to recruit the vulnerable and the suggestible. Once finding a suitable mark, he steals them to the very edge of the plane. There, he uses his fangs to puncture the victim's skin, sucking away their life as they morph unrecognisably, passing into the realm of Dark.

This story is mainly used to make sure hatchlings don't wander off alone in the dark—but increasingly frequent stories of eggs going missing without recovery are making some young parents worried there might be truth behind the myth.
